Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Traeshon Holden at No. 256 regardless, 46 picks early.

Farmer at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nic Scourton at No. 58. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tez Johnson in pick 97, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid up for Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 139th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They reached a country mile for Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 158, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 181st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick199 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 6, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Edwards went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
No edge and no loss on Bilhal Kone in No. 241; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Traeshon Holden
Traeshon Holden in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
